Sol Duc Falls


Saturday. We took the "long route" to and from Sol Duc Falls. There's a short jaunt (less than a mile) from parking lot to the falls or there's the Lover's Lane trail and the "mapped, but unnamed" trail. We took Lover's to the falls and the "unnamed" back. For a total of 6 miles.
This was a lovely, forested set of trails. There is nothing like like hiking the forests of the Olympic National Park. Ferns, flowers and the wondeous scent of moss supporting forest dampness. We ate lunch at the falls. I, uncharacteristically circumvented a railing, climbed down a little hill (obviously not the first one to do so), propped myself against a tree and shot some unobtructed vews of the falls and the canyon the water cut through.



My daughter and I had the most fabulous time.
